Never undertake anything for which you wouldn't have the courage to ask the blessings of heaven.

Practice yourself, for heaven's sake in little things, and then proceed to greater.

Epictetus

How many a man has thrown up his hands at a time when a little more effort, a little more patience would have achieved success.

Elbert Hubbard

I have never met anyone who did not support our troops. Sometimes, however, we hear accusations that someone or some group does not support the men and women serving in our Armed Forces. But this is pure demagoguery, and it is intellectually dishonest.

Ron Paul

Peace Train is a song I wrote, the message of which continues to breeze thunderously through the hearts of millions of human beings.

Cat Stevens

Always set high value on spontaneous kindness. He whose inclination prompts him to cultivate your friendship of his own accord will love you more than one whom you have been at pains to attach to you.

Samuel Johnson

It is man's own fault, it is from want of use, if his mind grows torpid in old age.

Samuel Johnson

One sees qualities at a distance and defects at close range.

Victor Hugo

The human race was always interesting and we know by its past that it will always continue so, monotonously.

Mark Twain

The pit of a theatre is the one place where the tears of virtuous and wicked men alike are mingled.

Denis Diderot

You mustn't always believe what I say. Questions tempt you to tell lies, particularly when there is no answer.

Pablo Picasso

I constantly look up words and meanings in search of the perfect variable, method, and class names.

David Heinemeier Hansson

I view life as a learning experience. It is not so much all about music it is about what happens when you are doing the music.
